"Fang Yi, your film is selling so well in Japan. Can you pick it up and release it again? It's already 87 million. If you work harder, it's not impossible to break 100 million."
"To be honest, many domestic audiences only knew that you had a movie released and it was finished after they heard about you winning the Best Actor Award. You were not famous before, but you are different now... I will participate with you.
For the selected films, I applied for them first, and then they were released after the results came out."
The third master always wears a Chinese tunic suit, and puts his short, round hands like a robot cat on his waist.
Fang Yi: "Is there such a thing?"
"Why not? "Sanjie Liu" was screened and released three times in Hong Kong that year, and "Shaolin Temple" was broadcast in China for several years... As long as you can make money, there is nothing impossible."
Fang Yi felt that the third master was ill and had to go to the hospital for treatment, so he shook his head: "The movie sources are all available online, and now it is released. It has a bad reputation, and it is worth tens of millions. If this one is not good, the next one will not work."
It’s too late, I’m still young.”
The third master's eyes widened and he said, "You're going so smoothly. You still don't know how difficult it is to make money in a movie. It's not an exaggeration to say that you can't save even one thing... But since you can afford it,
Of course I don’t care if I give in to this temptation.”
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. I have seriously considered your screening decision and asked several companies, but they were not willing... You understand, this matter has not yet come to an end. "Love Has an Afterlife"
"The splash of water that exploded was not enough to move them."
"Which companies?"
The third master smiled and said, "It's the companies you think of."
Those are Chengtian, China Film and Television, Bernard, etc.
Maybe even China Film Group would not be happy with it, and the Third Master’s opinions at China Film Group were not monolithic. He also had to take into account the thoughts of his subordinates - China Film Group has been importing Hollywood blockbusters for a long time, and then covered them up for half a month, until the country was flooded with pirated copies.
Showing it and selling it for money is a behavior that goes against market logic. There must be different opinions within China Film Group.
Domestic films cannot be supported, so we might as well open up the country and let the audience enjoy watching.
Your domestic film producers still get 40%. If a Hollywood blockbuster enters the country and is transferred out, it would be a blessing to get 15%. The rest is in our pockets.
Hollywood is much more enthusiastic than domestic film manufacturers. In order to earn 50% of the money, it tries its best to fill the crew with mainland filmmakers and turn the film into a joint venture. It also premieres in advance in mainland China, attracting Chinese audiences more than anyone else in the world.
They all saw Hollywood movies first.
The third master could see the disdain on Fang Yi's face - of course, he had been young and knew what young people think, so he said: "For this matter, "Love Has Afterlife" is not enough. The thunder is not loud enough. You want to
To get this done, we need to release one more movie, or even two movies, and blow them up and hurt them. Only then can we sit down and talk with you seriously... How to do the specific screenings and how many shows? This is
Even if you think it's for everyone's benefit when it comes to establishing rules, it's definitely not possible now."
"Neither can I, I'm not RMB."
Fang Yi understood and didn't think much about it anymore. Jiang Wen and the national master were on top, it was none of his business, and the movie was over anyway.
He turned to praise Han Sanping's "The Founding of the People's Republic of China": "It is the box office champion of the year's domestic films, and it is an unprecedented theme film. It is really amazing."
Han Sanping was so happy that he clapped his hands on the table: "This is the thing that I am most proud of this year, and I have to write it down with great color... It's just that there are so many family portrait movies like this. After all, it doesn't matter whether the audience likes the main theme movie or not."
, it (referring to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China") cannot be used as a sample."
"In a Hollywood movie, if you gather one or two hundred stars, you can still win the box office."
"yes."
Fang Yi also sighed.
The criticism that "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has received in the media now mainly comes from this. It is not a universal theme film template. It is impossible to mobilize people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places to shoot every theme film. Moreover, if there are too many, the audience will
Aesthetic fatigue.
Han Sanping said casually: "I have something else to ask. When will your next film be shot? Do you have any plans?"
"Let me rest for a while."
"Hey... young man, if you have any ideas, you can come to me. I dare not say hundreds of millions, but it's still no problem. After all, you have achieved results. Of course, you have to pass the exam.
That’s all.”
"Thanks for that."
"Okay, okay...Xiao Jiao, go and send Fang Yi...Fang Yi," Han Sanping finally stopped him and said in a deep voice, "When you have an idea, shoot it as soon as possible. Don't imitate them who took years or ten years to do it."
When it comes to making a movie, I don’t think they are very good... Guoshi and Feng Dapao, they almost make one movie a year, these are the directors who have entered the creative period."
After coming out of the entrance of China Film Studio, Fang Yi said goodbye to the employee who sent him off. He suddenly realized that maybe he was asked to come here today just to ask about the arrangements for the next film.
Why should we take pictures early?
Because the popularity is not over now, it can attract some attention and the audience is curious about him. But if it drags on for a few years, there will be no curiosity.
I heard that the project "Three Guns" being produced by Guo Shi was also initiated under the persuasion of its investor Zhang Weiping, because Guo Shi had just finished the Olympic opening ceremony and everyone across the country wanted to watch his movie again.
The thing about audience connection is really wonderful.
It has been a week since The Emperor was crowned, and the film's box office in Japan has been rising steadily, and it is on the verge of overtaking the mainland box office. Perhaps he is relying on foreign countries to show his own self-respect, but Fang Yi can really feel his popularity in China.
There is an additional clause in the contract between Tissot and Fang Yi. If the actor wins the Best Actor Award at the International A-Class Film Festival, he must make up an additional 2 million. This is similar to the contract of an athlete in the sports world, and the bonus is directly linked to the honor.
Since Fang Yi became the spokesperson, Tissot has had a significant performance increase in the young market. These manufacturers are not fools. They want to conduct consumer questionnaires to find out what the core competitiveness of their products is.
In the mainland market, the core competitiveness is still cost-effectiveness, and Fang Yi is the second factor.
In Japan and South Korea, the core competitiveness is Fang Yi, and it is the only factor. The sporadic watches sold are all generous donations from Fang Yi's foreign fans.
This makes Tissot very happy.
The original female spokesperson obviously can't stand together with Fang Yi, which has lowered the actor's style. Moreover, she is too old and can't work together for a few years. They pay attention to growth.

In fact, 15% is too high. In 2012, China and the United States signed a film memorandum, and statistics show that since 1994, all Hollywood movies have only made 13 yuan for every 100 yuan in box office in mainland China.
